Southfields

What you said

Place

• People like the current lighting outside Southfields Station

• Many people feel unsafe at night

• More police and CCTV needed

• Better lighting needed, including over footbridge on Keswick Road

• Travelling home from Southfields Station through the park to Westfield Waterside development feels unsafe in the winter

• Southfields passage feels unsafe

Economy

• More music venues needed

Transport

• Cycling
  • Wimbledon Park should allow pedestrians and cyclists 24/7 access, locking Revelstoke Road entrance at night forces cyclists to take a long diversion from Wimbledon Park Road via Replingham Road and this extra distance via congested roads discourages cycling
• Public transport

  • District Line often down which makes travel difficult

What we recommend:

• Work with police to increase presence

• Introduce creative lighting interventions in parts that feel unsafe

• Encourage evening uses like music venues

• Work with Merton Council to improve cycle provision through or around Wimbledon Park at night
